A review by ljrinaldi
The Princess in Black and the Giant Problem by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale

4.0

Both a princess and a superhero? Yes please.

This is apparently the eighth book in the series, which, according to Shannon Hale, both boys and girls enjoy, and want to know more about, despite them saying that reading about princesses is not something they want to do.

The Princess in Black misses her friends, that she had over for her birthday, so decides to get into her disguise and go seek them. What follows is mostly lining up new superhero kids for a future adventure, but it was still fun to see the different ways that the kids disguised their pets.

Thoroughly silly book with funny names for the various superheroes, and their pets. but of course, they all unite to fight the common enemy, a giant that is heading to wards town.

Kids will enjoy the bright and colorful illustrations, as well as the realistic way the kids fight the giant that is threatening them, as well as the solution to the problem.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
